A New Apprentices Roundtable is being held in Canberra, from 20 to 22 July 2005. Members comprise 18 New Apprentices and recently graduated New Apprentices, from industries or occupations where skills needs have been identified, particularly in the traditional trades. The Roundtable is one of nine initiatives under the Federal Government's National Skills Shortage Strategy.
